New photos taken inside Nottingham’s Bromley House Library have been getting a whole lot of attention online.

Snaps showing off the inside of the Angel Row library have gone viral on social media after blogger Rebecca, who goes by the username A Clothes Horse, shared her images from a recent trip.

In addition to receiving more than 9,000 likes on the social media site, one photo also inspired a flurry of comments from fans of the blogger from Northern Ireland. Many praised the architecture of the members-only library, which was founded over 200 years ago.

One fan told Rebecca, “You’ve found heaven!” after seeing her head up the spiral staircase on the photo while describing it as the “prettiest library in Nottingham,” as another said, “This library is absolutely gorgeous.”

“What does your dream library look like?” she asked in the caption of the photo, which shows the blogger making her way up the spiral staircase amid a sea of books. “I think mine would be something like this...”

Among the blogger’s 130,000 Instagram followers, one commented: “Oh my, yes please. I think I’d camp out in a corner and never leave.”

Rebecca contacted the library prior to her visit to the city to arrange a tour and to get permission to photograph the inside of the building.
